We have been notified by clients of a new domain scam.
The emails come from a company calling themselves “Domain Renewal”
These emails are not from us and should be ignored. If you want to forward them to us please do.
The emails follow the following format:

————————————————————————————————————————————-
Your domain name www.domain.com will expire within 90 days.
You may renew your domain automatically with Domain Renewal. Click on the link in this
e-mail to renew the domain for another year. You should renew your domain as soon as
possible in order for it to continue to be registered in your name.

Services and information about Domain Renewal
Domain Renewal maintains domain addresses, and registers and consults companies in
relation to Internet domain ownership. We inform businesses about which domains are
registered, and remind them if a domain is due to expire, or when it is time to renew a domain.
If you want Domain Renewal to extend the domain for you, we ask you to click on the link in
this e-mail. If you do not wish to use your domain after the due date for renewal, you may
disregard this e-mail. When Domain Renewal extends your domain no information will be
changed in the “Whois” information section. The domain will be extended for 1 year. You will
therefore continue with your current supplier. You may also request your Internet Service
Provider to renew the domain for you. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate
to contact our customer service centre by sending an e-mail to
support@domainrenewalonline.com
DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK
The insecure website it takes you to will ask you for your credit card information and will try to charge you USD69 for the domain renewal. (We only charge EUR8.25)
If you have any queries about the status of domains registered through our services please feel free to contact us.
